29 Gallon Redo!!!

[Eglassford]

I’m redoing my 29 gallon tall! It has been a community tank since 2014, but almost every fish from then has passed on. I’m going to convert it to a Goldie tank, but first it needs a makeover! Here is the before pic halfway into draining. I had already removed rocks. The plan is to paint a black background, get some new sand, reaquascape, and add new plants. Basically, a whole new tank!!!

Congrats! It will be a wonderful looking tank! Looking forward to updates!

I’m so excited! All the old black gravel is out, new sand arrives today. The tank has been scrubbed top to bottom with vinegar water.
Black background is painted on!!! So excited.

Hello, hello, hello, welcome to the worlds greatest forum btw!

I bet it is going to look awesome, super excited to continue to see updates!! What kind of goldfish are you planning on getting?

The tank passed the leak test. Whoop woop!
NearMeBettas I’m not quite sure what type of fancy goldfish I’ll get, but I’m excited. Definitely not something that gets huge, although I dream of a koi pond one day.

I'd love a koi pond one day as well, I just need to get rich first lol! I am going to school to be an accountant though so that's a good paying job.

I hope to graduate medical school in 7 years, so I may have a Koi pond budget in 15 years
It's in the "if I win the lottery" category of projects (along with a reptile room, a fish room, a HUGE marine aquarium, a discus tank, and a pea puffer tank).

BAM!!! Still trying to play with the hardscape, but this looks 10000000 tines better than before.
Everyone is eating a nice meal of fish flakes… apparently, the move was more traumatic for me than it was them. I had one fish flop on the floor for about a minute before I realized he was missing… he looks good, so I think we’re OK.
